1 | Git v1.6.5.5 Release Notes |
2 | ========================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v1.6.5.4 | |
5 | -------------------- | |
6 | ||
7 | * Manual pages can be formatted with older xmlto again. | |
8 | ||
9 | * GREP_OPTIONS exported from user's environment could have broken | |
10 | our scripted commands. | |
11 | ||
12 | * In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with | |
13 | ~/ and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected. This is not a | |
14 | bugfix but 1.6.6 will have this and without backporting users cannot | |
15 | easily use the same ~/.gitconfig across versions. | |
16 | ||
17 | * "git diff -B -M" did the same computation to hash lines of contents | |
18 | twice, and held onto memory after it has used the data in it | |
19 | unnecessarily before it freed. | |
20 | ||

21 | * "git diff -B" and "git diff --dirstat" was not counting newly added |
22 | contents correctly. | |
23 | ||

24 | * "git format-patch revisions... -- path" issued an incorrect error |
25 | message that suggested to use "--" on the command line when path | |
26 | does not exist in the current work tree (it is a separate matter if | |
27 | it makes sense to limit format-patch with pathspecs like that | |
28 | without using the --full-diff option). | |
29 | ||
30 | * "git grep -F -i StRiNg" did not work as expected. | |
31 | ||
32 | * Enumeration of available merge strategies iterated over the list of | |
33 | commands in a wrong way, sometimes producing an incorrect result. | |
34 | ||
35 | * "git shortlog" did not honor the "encoding" header embedded in the | |
36 | commit object like "git log" did. | |
37 | ||
38 | * Reading progress messages that come from the remote side while running | |
39 | "git pull" is given precedence over reading the actual pack data to | |
40 | prevent garbled progress message on the user's terminal. | |
41 | ||
42 | * "git rebase" got confused when the log message began with certain | |
43 | strings that looked like Subject:, Date: or From: header. | |
44 | ||

45 | * "git reset" accidentally run in .git/ directory checked out the |
46 | work tree contents in there. | |
